Quote of a Lifetime

"75 percent of your income depends on your communication skills."

- Earl Nightingale

 

Personal note:

Communication skills = speaking + listening (!!) + presenting + influencing

Quote of a lifetime

“Young man, make your name worth something!”

- Andrew Carnegie

 

It applies to all of us. Girls and guys alike.

MLE – a revolutionary degree (Part1)

I must admit, I did consider graduate school. I just finished college, thought it didn’t give me any relevant knowledge and I wanted more. “When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.” – said Peter Drucker and I said Amen! I deserve better education!

I wanted new excitement, new challenges, a better degree to get me ready to LIFE… I wanted to become an MBA!

An MBA is cool. Say, “I’m a Harvard MBA” and this gives you distinction (I thought), this will open the doors of heaven (I thought) and the flow of riches and happiness (I thought). Okay, after visiting the website of Stanford GBS, I thought the same as above, but with “I’m a Stanford graduate”… (The sun is shining all the time, for heavens sake! How cool is that?)

And then I ran across this blog post by marketing mastermind Seth Godin.

Months passed since then and I finally made up my mind. There are TONS of MBAs out there – do I really want to be another MBA in the crowd? (Do YOU?) (Even if it is a Harvard or Stanford MBA?)

The answer is no! (For me and for you, because you and me want to be extraordinary!) “Is there an alternative?” – you might ask.

Hell YES!

 

This brand-new and super-cool degree combines fresh ideas with contemporary knowledge.

It provides you with crucial insights and must-have on-the-ground experience.

BIG PICTURE + "Get-Your-Hands-Dirty" Implementation.

It is the new MFA combined MBA.

A revolutionary degree.

It is called… MLE.

Master of Life Excellence.

I was listening to an awesome podcast the other night. Pamela (Escape from Cubicle Nation blogstar -  yes, she is that good, she really ROCKS) and Gary Schoeniger (founder of the Entrepreneurial Learning Initiative) were discussing the entrepreneurial mindset.    

I had a paper and pencil in front of me and – quite unintentionally – I had jotted down three very simple thoughts.

Look for problems!

Be unreasonable!

NEVER give up!

Three simple thoughts. Yet put together they are capable of shaking the world.

Simple is really beautiful.
